Great advice. The issue with the temporary renewals online, is they couldn’t locate them in the system. OP did not advice if it was online or in the mail application or if it was a new PP. Because of the issue, they stopped the online process for a while. But, at this time the OP would need the assistance of the regular passport office in MIA or of course the reps of FL. I would call the Miami passport office first thing tomorrow morning for help. We were lucky, did mail in renewals all expedited, priority mail and received them back in 4.5 weeks. We used the Philadelphia branch for our mail in.

I rechecked the website rewards and PCL is not shown, but something interesting… HAL is still there, anyone can purchase, as WAS the same for PCL egift cards. However, CCL, RCCL and Celebrity are all members only purchase. Did this just change? IDK If PCL comes back with that restriction… it is relatively inexpensive to join AARP. We shall see.

Who finally resolved this? Customer service? TIA

You had a booking online that you booked yourself, as opposed to a TA/CVP?

Did you check the one with a 0 balance this way? If so, did it say 0 balance instead of verified? TIA When you went to add the ecards, did you add them to your booking online yourself, or have a TA/CVP enter them?

I would never second guess the medical team, the Captain or port authorities, etc. They do what is best for that guest, making the best decision at the time. I would not put much faith in the media posts either. So much finger pointing going on.

I have automatic updates set on my iphone. I do clear history and cache on my iphone. If you have issues on the App, such as not seeing added cruises, cancelling cruises, etc….. But wait a few days, you’ll probably see them updated. If not… then I would delete the App and reinstall the App.

Just go on the App once OB to purchase it on the first day. Make sure your Elite status shows on the App for the 50% discount. If not, stop at the Internet Cafe and they will do it. Add: You don’t say if it is soon. If later in the year or next year, could be increases. JMO

I assume out of Seattle? You should not have any problem. We’ve not encountered any check on arrivals groups from the US ports. You are fine.

As already mentioned it is the arrival time in in the port. Varies, as some ports they may pull in earlier, but you can usually disembark about an hour after the arrival, sometimes earlier. It all depends on the clearing the ship.

Wow, surprises me. Sounds like your on top of it. I would call the passport office number shown on the application process email and ask them if they can get you an appointment in Miami or expedite your passport? Is yours an online application or a mail in application? Does it still show in process?

We were sailing for 6 weeks with him last winter in the Caribbean and had no issues. We really enjoyed the Captain. Must be Northern Europe sailings or the ship. JMO

Yes, again probably due to EzAir guarantees to get them to the next port. However, OP does not have a passport, so not the same scenario.

Totally different issue with EZAir. OP does not have a passport.

Yes, thank you. If OP can drive to MIA that would be best, since they have already mailed in all documentation and maybe the only option last minute. Glad you caught that.

When you received the ecard from Aarp, did you go on PCL website to check the balance, per chance? I’ve heard of this happening once before and that person suggested if you buy them, immediately check the balance. TIA https://www.princess.com/learn/cruise-gifts-celebrations/overview/gift-cards/

Let us know!

You wouldn’t be allowed to leave from one US port and return to another, that is a violation and you have to visit a foreign port. You can call PCL and verify, with a supervisor. Best bet is to get to the passport office on Monday morning. I gave you the link.

If I were you, I would call the passport office in Orlando Monday morning and tell them your situation. You need an emergency passport. That is, if you are in Florida now. https://www.thepassportoffice.com/orlando-passport-services.php Have your information available and the passport application number, when in process etc. So they can look it up. Hopefully, this was a mail in application and not an online application.

You’re lucky to never have had a root canal!! 😜

Thanks for telling us. I was afraid with all the advertising on CC, they may pull them. Too bad. Still available for CCL, HAL and RCCL. They may have met their quota and will offer later? Let’s hope.

Yes, it is a good idea to log out and back in sometimes, just to refresh it.

It is a beautiful ship, we love it and the crew is great. We love the huge open piazza and the International Cafe for specialty coffees and a light snack/meal at any time. Plenty of opportunities for dancing around the ship. We had 20 nights on her this Spring. Gigi’s by Alfredo is the best pizza ever.

Could be if your last name is very long. No worries.

They start about 59 days before to about 12 days before sailing. I just check starting at 59 days before.
